Days

Avery Hill are proud to announce the release
of Days, a collection of the work of Simon Moreton.

The collection covers Moretonís comics output
from 2011 and 2012, including three out-of-print issues of his acclaimed
ongoing autobiographical series SMOO, and ten strips created for
anthologies, including one previously unpublished piece.

"Moreton is using the comics medium to
its greatest extent, encouraging us to derive every possible ounce of meaning
from the imagery he presents" - Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet
International

Days also features an all new wraparound
cover, extensive notes on the work included, and a short essay by Moreton,
across 148 pages printed in a larger-than-original size of 239mm by 168mm,
offering a perfect entry point for new readers, and a different perspective for
existing fans.

When asked about Days, Moreton said:

"Iím really proud of the work in this
collection. It documents a turning point in my zine making where I was finally
starting to get a sense of what I really wanted to try and do with my stories
and drawings. The work collected here shows that period of experimentation, but
also that period of my life in pen and pencil. It makes me happy and humbled to
see my zines put together in this way.Ē

"Moreton's very much in the John
Porcellino wing of the comics-as-poetry school as he tells very short stories
about his environment, his memories and his anxieties" - Rob Clough, The
Comics Journal

Printed in larger than original format,
across 144 black and white pages.
